About Me

I am the second born in a family of three children and a mother of one child, my childhood life was very difficult due to extreme poverty.We could sometimes go without food for two days. I went to umina primary school which was 5km from home and had to trek each day to and from,I then joined mbaga girls for my secondary but I had drop out at my second year due to lack of school fees.
After dropping out of school ,I went to live with my aunt who is a tailor and she trained me to be a tailor and designer. Being a quick learner I mustered the skills very fast. However starting my own business was an uphill task due to lack of capital and I had to work for my aunt for two years as I save $300 that i used to open up my own business. I have since managed to open up my business and the business is doing well though it needs expansion.
my hobbies include listening to music,dancing,singing and watching movies.
